Washington, D.C. — Giordano’s, the legendary Chicago-based pizzeria known for its iconic stuffed deep-dish pizza, will officially open its first Washington, D.C., location on June 9. Located at 600 14th St. NW in the city’s bustling Lafayette Square neighborhood, the restaurant will bring its world-famous Chicago pizza to the heart of the nation’s capital.
The new 7,400-square-foot restaurant features seating for more than 180 guests, including a 130-seat dining room, 16-seat bar area, a 20-seat seasonal patio and a 20-seat private dining area named The Lincoln Room. The restaurant plans to offer full catering and delivery services soon after opening. The location will also feature limited-edition D.C.-inspired merchandise and retail items celebrating both Chicago and Washington culture.
“Opening in Washington, D.C. is about more than opening another restaurant for us. It’s a chance to bring a real piece of Chicago culture to the nation’s capital while also becoming part of the local community,” says Giordano’s CEO Nick Scarpino. “We’re looking forward to building relationships throughout D.C., from local organizations and event partners to vendors and collaborators, while introducing more people to the pizza traditions that have defined Giordano’s for generations.”
Founded in Chicago in 1974 and recently celebrating 50 years in business, Giordano’s has become synonymous with authentic stuffed deep-dish pizza made with Wisconsin mozzarella, handmade dough and layers of premium ingredients.
Based in Chicago, Giordano’s World Famous Deep-Dish Pizza has been serving its world-famous stuffed pizza for over 50 years. In 1974, immigrant brothers Efren and Joseph Boglio introduced their mother’s 200-year-old Italian recipe to Chicago, pioneering what is now internationally known as Chicago-style stuffed pizza. Today, Giordano’s operates nearly 60 locations across nine states and ships its iconic pizza nationwide. For more information, visit www.giordanos.com.
